Lenovo offical document about ThinkPad laptop battery use and maintenance (part 1)

September 7th, 2010

Note: This will instruct you on how to use the battery effectively and how to extend battery life on a ThinkPad system.

New batteries

When purchasing a new battery, you may find that the battery is at or near 0% capacity. This will be due to the length of time the battery has been in stock and does not affect the quality of the battery. If the battery is at 0%, it may take up to 12 hours of continuous charging or, cycling the battery three times to wake up the battery. If the new battery still does not have a charge after having been charged for 12 hours or cycled three times, it should be replaced. Standard warranty on all ThinkPad batteries is no more than one year as stated in the Statement of Limited Warranty that comes with the machine or battery.

Battery conditioning

In general, rechargeable batteries store electrical energy through chemical reaction — therefore, capacity will change by temperature, unused storage period, load condition, and number of cycles used.
 
The following instructions provide tips on how to obtain the best battery condition to extend battery rundown time:

  • Once you have started charging the battery pack, do not use it until it is fully charged.
  • If your battery is brand new and you are charging it for the first time, your battery may not be charged to full capacity due to characteristics of chemicals in the cell.

Selecting the correct laptop ac adapter

Before purchasing an AC Adapter you need to make sure make the AC Adapter will give you the correct voltage and suitable current output.

To find out the voltage & current, turn your laptop over and look for a label, sticker or writing which shows the voltage and current, it should look something like the examples below. The voltage figure will have a “V” after the number i.e 19V and the current will have a “A” or “mA”. i.e 3.15A. You can also find these shown on your original AC adapter if you have it. The Voltage must be within 10% of your original AC Adapters Voltage. The Amps may be higher but they cannot by lower. Hitachi DZ-BD70 Charger, Hitachi DZ-BD70A Charger, DZ-BD70E Charger, Hitachi DZ-BD7H Charger, DZ-BD7HA Charger

If you are purchasing a universal AC Adapter or Car Charger you will need to work out the Watts of your original AC Adapter and select the universal AC Adapter or Car Charger with the same Watts or next highest Wattage. You can work out the Wattage by multiplying the Voltage by the Amps i.e 20V X 3A = 60 Watts. There is no 60 Watt AC Adapter so you will need to select the next step up which is the 70 Watt AC Adapter. DZ-BD7HE Charger, DZ-BD9H Charger, Hitachi DZ-BX35 Charger, DZ-BX35A Charger

PLEASE NOTE: If the wattage requirement for your laptop is lower than the 60W or 90W output of the adapter, it will not damage your laptop, your laptop will only take the amount of power it requires. I.E. If your laptop needs 45W, then either the 60W or 90W will work OK. If your laptop needs 80W then you will need the 90W one as the 75W one will not be powerful enough.
If in doubt please email us on our contacts page.

Once you have selected you Brand and Model from the Laptop AC Adapters Search Wizard it will display the compatible AC Adapters under the product column. Once you have clicked on the battery you will be redirected to the page displaying alllt he information about the AC Adapter. Click on the photo of the AC Adapter to enlarge the image and view the tip dimensions to ensure they are similar to your original AC Adapters tip dimensions.

Selecting the correct laptop battery

Batteries have two main ratings on them: Volts and Amps. Because laptop batteries do not carry a very large amount of power when compared to larger batteries such as car batteries, most companies show their ratings with Volts and Milliamps. One thousand Milliamperes equals 1 Ampere. When buying a battery, always go for the battery with the most Milliamperes (or mAh).

Once you have selected you Brand and Model from the Laptop Batteries Search Wizard it will display the compatible batteries under the product column. Once you have clicked on the battery you will be redirected to the page displaying alllt he informationa about the battery.

This Wireless Power Consortium (WPC) has provided a standard for wireless mobile devices Chargers finished. In a statement it was said that there had been agreement in three key areas of “Qi-Low-Power” standards, based on induction technology. The standard could theoretically end the days when you needed for each mobile device has its own charging station. Sony VGP-BPS21A Battery

The three areas where the consortium members have agreed are: the interface definition, which describes the requirements of the power transmission between the transmitter and receiver, the performance requirements and test procedures for compliance with the standards. VGP-BPS21A Battery

The interface specifications had been already passed on to members of the consortium, they say. On 30 August they will be published. According to consortium members only get the other parts of the standards to be seen. The publication of the standard means that manufacturers can begin with the development and production of Qi-compatible devices. However, each of these devices to be certified before it is standards compliant. VAIO VGN-AW41JF Battery

“We have everything ready, what is needed to produce products with the Qi logo to certify and distribute. To the Qi standard is itself, ie the technical specification, test procedures, certification services and the Logo License, about which one the right to use the logo gets, “said a spokesman for WPC ZDNet.

Compatible devices will carry a logo with the Qi, the Chinese character for “energy”. The Qi-induction system uses a proprietary technology such as PDAs Touchstone chargers. Qi devices are transmitted inductively to five watts of power. VAIO VGN-CS72JB Battery

To set a Qi-compatible product, such as a mobile phone, a charger, the station is activated and communicates with the mobile phone. The type of the issued equipment and its performance arises.
